custom buildings How to make custom buildings?

[greener07 8]

Hello,

OK.. so now after I learned how to make custom region maps...

 

I also want to learn how to make custom buildings...

 

I searched Google and Simtropolis but didn't got much help.

 

1) So can you tell me how to make custom buildings? 

 

2) How can I add properties to those buildings like this building will increase commerce by +5 and that building will reduce garbage by -5?

 

3) What are the differences between 3D models, .BAT's, lots, maps and props. Please clarify a bit.. They all mean same to me.

 

Thank you

There's lots of good info in the Omnibus (tab is at the top of the page) but I'd start with...

It might well take you a couple of days to run the BAT Essentials tutorial.  It covers the ground.  Now let's see if you can resist making a bunch of Bauhaus buildings, they are so dull.

I haven't made a custom building, but I have made custom lots, which you also have to do with your buildings if you want to use them.  Heres the write up I made.

And I have made custom lots with the Lot Editor alone.
